The telephone call and advertisement part 300 consists of a button part 310 for clicking and inputting the selected telephone number, a telephone calling display part 320 for displaying the telephone calling state, and an advertisement illustration screen 330 for outputting a predetermined advertisement.

The operation of the service system for managing the internet

local advertisement using an internet phone and a geometric information system (GIS) according to the present invention will be specifically described below.

The service network system according to the present invention is connected to an internet network via a modem or LAN card of a user, through which a web server and a GIS database server are connected. Data transmitted from the servers are processed at the CPU. Using a head set and the sound card, by controlling the CPU in connection with an internet phone technology and handling a telephone calling screen, a communication of telephone call with the other party is carried out. The advertisement service agency comprises a phone book database related to a telephone number, a GIS database capable of expressing a map at a map screen, and a mapping database capable of mapping a shop name on the map. Thus, data is extracted with the requirement of the CPU and a program. The procedure is as follows : a user connects to a telephone service dealer and a web service agency connected to a GIS database and a program, through a web server and a router, and receives map data and advertisement screen data. Thereby, a telephone is called on the screen using various examples of telephone calling to be described hereinafter, it is connected to a telephone or other service registration identification through a gate provided by a

telephone service dealer.

Also, in such procedure, a general modem and PSIN subscriber also is capable of making a service by the program. An internet phone through internet and a screen on computer provided by a service agency are connected with the CPU by using a mouse and a key board, to operate a communication between a telephone call and an internet site.

As shown in Fig. 3, in the service for managing internet advertisement using an internet phone and GIS according to the present invention, a user connects to a web server of a service agency and goes into an advertisement output and input waiting screen. In order to select a region, a shop or enterprise, the steps such as a selection of map and input of character (input of location and shop name) and the selection of advertisement screen and input of key word, are carried out. The change of region at the selection of map 1 is searched, it is connected to a GIS and map database provided by the service agency and the map is changed to display the screen. In the above condition, a location and shop name are searched at the input of character, an identification is searched among the registered advertisement database and is confirmed.

When telephone is connected, a telephone between a user and a shop is communicated. When an advertisement screen is selected, a

telephone number is searched at the registered identification and the phone book, and the searched telephone number is displayed and a telephone is called. When a key word classified by the type of business is inputted, a shop name is inquired on the advertisement database and a list of shop name is outputted. Then, when the list is selected, the process as above condition is repeated.

As shown in Fig. 4, in order to move a location at the map screen on the internet site, the relevant information is inputted by user. The movement information on upper, lower, left, right and center points is provided. A view port is moved by the movement information and a location of the shop name is mapped. The shop name is overlapped on the map and the map is displayed on the screen. Then, an relevant advertisement is outputted and an input is waited. An information on scaling is inputted and the view port is scaled. A selected point is divided and displayed. Then, an identification of the shop name is extracted and the identification of the shop name is confirmed.

As shown in Fig. 5, in order to change the region at the map screen on the internet site, a location and a shop name are inputted and extracted. An advertisement (registration) database is inquired, an identification is extracted and the identification of the advertisement (registration) is confirmed. Then, a telephone number

is searched. It is confirmed whether a valid information is and an invalid state is displayed. Then, it is converted to advertisement output and input waiting mode (S460) and a telephone number is displayed. A user line is connected to the shop's telephone, a telephone call is communicated and it is converted to advertisement output and input waiting mode.

As shown in Fig. 6, in order to select a registration screen, a user inputs an information at user's waiting state. A shop advertisement screen of the inputted information is selected and the information of the corresponding shop is displayed. Then, a telephone calling menu is activated and a telephone number is displayed based on selection of telephone call of the inputted information. A user's line is connected to the shop telephone and a telephone call is communicated. It is converted to advertisement output and input waiting mode.

As shown in Fig. 7, in order to input a key word, a key word is extracted at input waiting state. An advertisement (registration) database and a telephone number are searched and a list of the relevant shop name is outputted. A telephone number is displayed by selection of user. A user's line is connected to the shop telephone and a telephone call is communicated. Then, it is converted to advertisement output and input waiting mode, a key word is changed

and a key word is re-extracted.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY As described above, according to the present invention, all worldwide can be divided by each divided region, by means of GIB database and internet phone technologies. Also, the business of advertisement in type of business, shop and characteristics can be carried out every divided region. Since the information on commodity, region, shop name and enterprise of the respective regions can be processed on one screen, the business of free internet phone can be converted into the black-ink budget through benefits of advertisement. Also, all users over the world can find the information on region and location easily and conveniently by using various methods.

Although the preferred embodiments of the invention have been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
